Foodies, families, and adventure-seekers, brace yourselves! Dubai Parks™ and Resorts has rolled out the red carpet for its first-ever RIVERLAND™ Dubai Food Festival, running from Friday, January 24th. This culinary bonanza transforms RIVERLAND™ Dubai into a paradise of flavours, entertainment, and unforgettable memories. And guess what? It all kicks off with a single ticket.
Dubai Parks And Resort Unveils Their First Ever RIVERLAND Dubai Food Festival!
With 24 dining options and over 100 dishes, the festival is a flavour-packed journey through global cuisines. Whether you’re craving Italian, Indian, Mexican, or good ol’ American classics, there’s something for every palate.
- Kick it off prehistoric-style: Start your adventure at T-Rex Adventure Café, where bold flavours meet Jurassic vibes.
- Craving comfort food? Viva Ristorante serves Italian classics, while Al Mashowa grills up specialities that hit just right.
- Quick pick-me-up? Stop by Espresso Riverland Café for coffee that fuels your festival energy.
Still hungry? Chow down on juicy burgers at Flip n’ Burger or snack on authentic Indian bites at Yalla Bombay. And don’t leave without indulging in spun-sugar magic from Fluffy Delights.
Food Trucks Galore!
What’s a food festival without food trucks? Feast on everything from melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts to refreshing juices, spicy chaat, tacos, hotdogs, shawarma, and street corn. It’s street food heaven, served fresh and fun.
More Than Just Food
This isn’t just about filling your plate, it’s about filling your day with joy. The entertainment lineup is as delicious as the menu:
- Live Performances: Sway to a Latin band, sing along with a Pop band, or vibe to Arabic beats.
- Pulsating DJ Sets: Keep your feet moving while your taste buds party.
- Colourful Parades: Watch the streets come alive with energy and excitement.
For the kids (and the young at heart), don’t miss the Dino Parade. Towering dinosaurs march through the festival, and meet-and-greet sessions let little ones interact with these prehistoric stars. Plus, arts, crafts, and face painting make weekends extra fun.
Lights, Lasers & Fireworks!
As night falls, the festival truly dazzles. Eco-friendly laser shows light up the venue daily at 7:30 pm, 8:20 pm, and 9:30 pm. On Saturdays, the grand finale comes in the form of a spectacular fireworks display at 9:30 pm.
